In this episode of the Modern Couples Podcast, I sit down with Miles Spencer — serial entrepreneur, father, and founder of Reflector AI, a soul-tech company that makes it possible to create digital memories and interactive “elder avatars” of our loved ones. aka. Talking with the dead (note: it's clearly AI and not the dead)What moved me most to watch my own inner monologue during the conversation move from skepticism and creepiness to opportunity and a sincere opportunity for shifting our societies' mindset to legacy awareness and building - which got lost for so many in modern times. We talk about:How love and entrepreneurship shape and challenge each other.What it means to stop pouring love and energy into a “leaky bucket” and start redirecting it.How technology can enable not just memory, but connection and healing.The opportunities and limits: how much contact with 'the dead' (note: it's clearly AI and not the dead) is healthy, and what skills we need to navigate it.Why legacy is more than asset wealth — and how we can consciously document for future generations.For me, this conversation was inspiring and challenging at the same time. It invites us to think beyond our own “relationship code” — across generations, and even across the boundaries of life and death. Which is a skill of the future And after this conversation I am convinced with discernment and awareness, this technological advancement is something I might give a try!About the guest Miles SpencerMiles Spencer is currently CEO and a founder of Reflekta.ai, a Soul Tech company that bridges generations through fully interactive digital legacies.

In this episode of the Modern Couples Podcast, I sit down with Analena Fuchs — intuitive Human Design & Gene Keys guide, creator of the Intuitive Human Design Teacher Certification, and host of the True Sidereal Summit. Analena brings a rare lens to modern spirituality by weaving Human Design with true sidereal astrology — a system that uses the actual astronomical sky rather than the traditional tropical zodiac.What struck me most in our conversation was how this evolution in astrology and the impact on the sense of self as well as the impact on relationships feels so divinely timed. Asking us to let go of ego and attachments, and step even more into wholeness, compassion and embracing life to its fullest.For me, this conversation is about permission — to stop squeezing yourself into outdated boxes, to relate from alignment instead of performance, and to see spirituality as something deeply embodied, not abstract or aesthetic. It made me reflect on what becomes possible when we update the internal map to match the real sky.As so often, I consider this conversation: advanced.There is basic tutorials on sidereal astrology out there - just check the dates, because there have been recent shifts, probably causing future higher demands in this topic. We talk about:• How Human Design and Genekeys tranform relationships - What is True Sidereal Astrology- What happens when you find out about different astrologies- How to handle and be with the different designs without getting lost or confused- How to use different astrology in every day situations- Which Astrology should you now use? E.g. for your child and education?- How do you deal with the realization that you and your partner lived "outdated" designs?- Is there a right or wrong? - How to deal with the pain of letting go of an identity? ego deathThis episode invites a quiet revolution in how we see ourselves and the people we love — not as fixed identities, but as evolving constellations finally aligned with the real sky.About Analena and the links mentioned in the episodeAnalena Fuchs is an Intuitive Human Design & Gene Keys Guide and creator of the Intuitive Human Design Teacher Training Certification. She helps conscious leaders stop people-pleasing and step into their power using her unique holistic Human Design approach.
